CNN

Maybe because she isn't qualified and frankly, neither is McCain.

The smart kid who went to the world's top school is getting the job. Smart, tough, stoic, creative, focused, thoughtful, presidential. Obama gets the job. He's more presidential than the guy whose been sitting behind the desk for eight years

McCain is the one who really WIN .

CNN I don't beieve your pundis to said Obama win,
Obama was SINISTERLY SCARY........................................?
i believe Obama TAUGHT "A CORN' how to write ?! VOTES?!

I BET JOHN MCCAIN DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A 401K OR HEALTH INSURANCE i BET he don't worry about car payments and care insurance and I BET HE DON' EVEN WORRY ABOUT HIS HOUSES BEENING FORCLOSED ON

RESPONSE TO LANA:

Why should someone else pay for you to have a better life through tax increases? Get out of bed, get a job and go to work instead of relying on welfare, food stamps and other peoples taxes to pay your way!

All this talk about socialism is truly unfortunate. Socialism in its truest terms as would be acceptable in this country is that we are all Americans. We all need to take care of each other as Americans. If your asked to pay a little more taxes due to the wealth you have accumulated, whether by hard work, inheritance, or however, it is "your" responsibility as an American to make sure that children are not going hungry, that the elderly aren't eating catfood because they can't afford their medicaitons, or that people who work minimum wage jobs have the means to get to work, pay their bills, and live above the poverty level. If this is socialism than I am all for it and even though I make less than $40,000 annually would be willing to pay more taxes to make sure all Americans are safe, fed, and comfortable that they won't be living on the streets. That is the American way. Not the greed, the ignorance that everything is just fine in America, and the selfish attitude that has dominated America in the last 8 years. It's time we all look out for each other. With McCain and the Republican party, including Joe the Plummer, you will all be on your own.

Senator Mccain, he like looked like he was tired last night and almost out of breath and Palin still no where to found except she's on the rally and delever the speech, kind a scary............. We deserve to have a great leadership who can represent the UNITED STATED OF AMERICA for us and their's no doubt Obama/Biden are the perfect to lead this Country.

“Shock the victim, then accuse him of the crime you committed,” is a Soviet psycho-political warfare technique now used by Islamic terrorists upon the very country of its origin - Russia. Typically, victims take on the identity of the terrorist or hostage-taker and, out of sympathy, turn on their friends, just as Patty Hearst once did. The Stockholm Syndrome-where hostages end up sympathizing with their terrorist abductors-works on entire nations, not just on individuals.

"McCain won in two categories. Eighty percent of debate watchers polled said McCain spent more time attacking his opponent, with seven percent saying Obama was more on the attack. Fifty-four percent said McCain seemed more like a typical politician during the debate, with 35 percent saying Obama acted more like a typical politician."

That's WINNING? In this campaign, voters have responded poorly to attacks, and in no campaign ever has "more like a typical politician" been a good thing. Especially since McCain is running on the idea that he and Ms. Pitbull aren't typical politicians and Obama is.

McCain had three chances to get it right. Three strikes and your OUT! He has LOST his chance to run this country. If he can't pull of a single debate what does this tell you???

Why can't Obama stand up for anything? He lies about all of his connections – Ayers, Wright and now ACORN. CNN's own fact checker says Obama had more connections with ACORN than Obama admits to. All of you people that see Obama as this cool, calm put together guy are only seeing what you want. Take off the blinders!!! He did start his first political campaign in the home of Ayers. It is undisputed. And it does go to the character of the candidate. Obama couldn't even say to McCain's face what he really thinks of Palin, and not "because he is a decent person". He is afraid to say anything bad about her because then some women might not vote for him. Character is an issue, and should be with any political campaign. If the candidate hangs out with people of questionable reputation, how can you trust him? And, if it were only one instance with one person it would be a different story. There are too many to not have an affect on who this "Obama" really is. I'm sure that none of the Obama supporters notice that whenever someone in Obama's campaign is asked about any of these people the response is instantly "let's talk about the economy". Could this economy thing be a "wag the dog"? They knew it was the only way Obama would win. That was his strong point (supposedly). People that had mortgages that are being foreclosed on paid insurance at the time of the loan because if you don't have 80% equity it is required, always. So there really isn't anyone that should have lost money on a bad mortgage because once it defaulted the insurance should have taken care of the loan. The insurance company might be in a pinch but other than that, there is not a bank that gave a loan out that should have been affected by this. Think about it. Wag the dog...

McCAIN'S EYES . HE WAS ROLLING THEM LIKE DICE. SNAKE EYES.
HE WAS OVERLY MADE UP, LOOKED LIKE HE HAD LIPSTICK ON. HE RESEMBLED AN EMBALMED SMILING CADAVER.

I think Bob Shieffer was a great moderator...actually did his job, and did it well!
John McCain did not benefit from the split screen during the debate. He was seething at times while trying to look pleasant, and his smile came off as a sneer. He keept trying to open his eyes too wide, and he interrupted Senator Obama too many times. He is too angry. If he cannot look/act civil during a debate with someone he disagrees with, what will he do with world leaders he is in disagreement with?
In that regard alone, he lost the debate in my eyes. He is not cool headed enough to deal with the make up of the world in which we live.
Also, his response that his campaign had to go negative because Obama would not participate in town hall meetings???? Huh..?
It is somewhat puzzling to me that there are so many "undecided" voters out there. The two candidates could not be more different on the issues. No matter your affiliation, if you know where you yourself stand on issues, the choice should not be difficult.

He was better at getting his point across. I like the healthcare approach he did a good job tying that together. McCain did score some points. Too bad he didn't do as well in first 2 debates. I don't even think people watched this one and some have already voted like me.

I feel McCain won. Obama did not answer (address) very many of his questions.
I feel he had a look of discuss on his face 2 or 3 times. Which was a very unprofessional.

I thought McCain did better this time around (Obama took it). It was kind of like watching what happens if you go to college (high school grad vs. college grad) I was glad McCain said "you should have run against bush 8 years ago". I want Obama to stick to what he's going to do, and get off of this "8 more years of Bush". WE GET IT.

I'm glad they brought up the Ayers, and Lewis, however, each one left me unsatisfied. McCain was really boohooey about Lewis (sleep in the bed you make McCain) and Obama makes it sound like he hardly knows Ayers (which I don't believe).

I just can't wait to see who McCain will be next week, looks like he's moving into the sympathy stage. Did anyone else notice he said the word 'angry' five times in the first 30 seconds?

Then, when the programmers deem it time, they accuse the honorably elected of being tyrants and liars, just like their own rotten dads were. They use the “hate-your-father-love-your-mother” media to render those perceived deadbeat dads powerless and the nation leaderless.

The fact that Obama did not let cCain take the debate into the Ayeers lie and rather put him on the defence when he said the people want to hear about the ISSUES scored BIG POINT.

I think McCain won the debate!

I especially liked it when he told Obama….

"I'm not Bush, if you wanted to run against Bush, you should have run 4 years ago."

I thought it also spoke VOLUMES the way Obama didn't repute the VERY awful statement of Lewis concerning Race Baiting!

What an arrogant Left Wing Nut Job in Training Pants!

Obama is a very dirty Chicago Politician who is doing his best to steal the general election in ant way he can!

Along with Dodd, Reid, and Pelosi he will bring this Weak economy to its knees!

And leave our Great Nation at risk from attack with a Weak, naive President!

McCain/Palin-08

@ susie...Palin lied about her violating ethics laws. How can we trust her? McCain lied about the Iraq war. How can we trust him. And when it comes to lies the McCain/Palin ticket is clearly leading in the pants on fire category on politifact.

I have to wonder what McCain's campaign managers really think about his behavior. The guy can't keep his temper in check, going off on a tangent regularly. I'm sure the managers have told him to keep it cool. He is probably a campaign nightmare with that nasty, mean attitude he has. In light of all that, do we really think he would be any different in the White House? I only hope the American people take that into account on November 4.

Does this poll include all Americans ?

It's obvious that most here are visual. If one would have merely listened instead of watched, concentrating on what was actually said and not 'how it looked' your conclusions would be far different.

I don't want to have the government tell me where the bounds of excellence are. You can excel at what ever you do, but once you get to a certain point, we will confiscate anything over and above X and redistribute it to those unwilling or unable to match your efforts.

It's easy to see how so many can be so starstruck, so we'll probably get what we deserve.

You're looking at what's under the Christmas Tree and still believing that Santa Claus put it there and not Mom & Dad.

I can't believe people are upset with Bush for the economy because he has accomplished what Dems have been wanting for years, gov't control of the Central Bank, gov't doled housing, etc. etc.

You should thank him for giving the foothold toward total government control.

One day, they intend to awaken millions of angry sleepers, reared by a matriarchal shadow underworld government, to run wild in the streets bringing their beloved despots to power.

It gets much worse. Let irrational debate grow to the point of paralyzing gridlock, to create an appearance of weakness that emboldens terrorists to blow up an entire city. Then point the finger of blame at the innocent-a father figure-for being responsible.

University-programmed journalists-elitist intellectuals and rebels against traditional fatherly discipline-with all their enabling feminine sensitivities, will then hail terrorists as heroes fighting for their rights against bullies.

Was it because of his tough stance on gross overspending? Or his plan for the social security crisis in 2010? Or dealing with the credit default swaps?

For the love of God, neither candidate is dealing with the real issues.

Google Votepact, please.

Barack Obama 2008!!!

President should be cool, calm, tactical, not overwhelmingly emotional, not looking with disdain or hatefully, respect the opposition, and finally smart.

Americans have seen in the cause of this months who is qualified in this case.

I am a somewhat amazed that John McCain feels "hurt" by comments made regarding his character. He has bashed Sen. Obama for months, yet Sen. Obama has not said, "Oh please, stop, you are hurting my feelings."

Get over it. You got until Nov. 4th. Focus on what our country needs.

God help us.

McCain was his usual angry and disrespectful self with his grunting, eye rolling and interrupting Sen. Obama. Even fact check said his "mortgage rescue" plan would shift the burden to taxpayers, not the banks or mortgage companies. Wake up people. I see people saying electing Sen. Obama means more taxes and socialism – well if you don't call the taxpayers footing the bill for banks, insurance companies, wall street and bad mortgages socialism, then you need to go back to school. All McCain is trained to do is attack, but he doesn't care if he gets his facts straight. Even his own brother doesn't like the way he has handled his campaign.

Obama was flat in the beginning because he's been saying the same thing over and over. It was up to McCain to find some kind of hail mary, and in the end, Obama's "eloquence" , clear thought, and rationality sent McCain back to the stump.

Obama as always held himself at a very mature, professional person. not giving in to petty arguements and he said she said gossip on non issues. McCain came in this debate last night to do what some of his hating angry supporters wanted him to do. And it backfired. Instead of taking the higher ground he took the lower. McCain smirk was like a childs.. his interrupting.. his eyes looked like my childs babydoll eyes they are either closed or wide open. Like he had to push them open to stay awake or something. McCain just doesnt have "it" when it comes to the "look" and come across in a manner that people like. And as far as Palin goes... he was only trying to help the campaign here... she is definately NOT qualified and Obamas stance of not saying anything was PROOF!! Its also where Obama is professional about things.

Obama want say Palin is qualified. Well she is not!! I watched the debate and Mccain has reverted back to childhood. He sounds like a angry old man crossed by a 2 year old who can't get his way. First he talks with sense, then he start talking crazy and then he is all over the map!! Mccain you already then had your last dance so go sit down!!

Because propaganda alters our perception of reality, good becomes evil and evil becomes good, as in Nazi Germany. The biblical “Give us Barabbas” mentality is here again. It happened to Spain, and now witness the horror in Russia. Much worse is in store for America.

Knowing that the corrupted are their slaves, the programmers have created two cultures in conflict, one of them opposed to the Founding Fathers’ intent. If they cannot get their way “democratically,” they will incite a civil war. Now do you see why the God-centered family is the target for destruction?

This toxic culture is no accident: it is the result of a sophisticated psycho-political battle for our minds and hearts. Awaken now-turn from your manipulators’ cunning and forgive them. Throw away your drugs and booze; come home to family through the truth that makes and keeps us free.

TexicoFromMexico – thanks. I was having trouble putting my finger on what it was that made Barack the winner even though McCain had more time to talk and was clearly the more aggressive participant.

Obama's mere presence exudes leadership.

Small business owner for Obama.

I find it odd that Obama's campaign has not taken a verbal shot at McCain for not allowing MLK day to be celebrated in Arizona, since McCain camp has called him a terrorist mmmmmm.

McCain seemed confused several times during the debate while Obama articulated his platform. Hands down – Obama wins!
McCain showed us once again that he is for BIG BUSINESS not the average American. That's how we saw it – here in northwestern Ohio.
Why shouldn't we spend more on Americans instead of in Iraq, on more Big Business tax breaks, etc. We should take care of our own first.
The way things are going we might not have to worry about McCain taxing our health benefits – WE WON'T HAVE ANY HEALTH BENEFITS!
Wake up, America is dying due to the ideology of those like McCain and Bush (McCain voted over 90% of the time with Bush so his trying to distance himself from Bush is laughable).

WE NEED CHANGE!

john mccain is old and grumpy he is rich with 13 cars and 9 houses he don't know anything about this economic - he donot believe in roe v wade he don't believe in equal pay for women i still have not heard any plans to fix this mess america is in from john mccain : He is RICH NOT A WORRY IN THE WORLD - bet his bills is paid on time i bet he has food on the table i

I'm biased because I already voted for Obama and Biden. However, John McCain made my skin crawl last night. My 17 year old son watched about 20 minutes of it with me and announced he couldn't take it anymore, asking why McCain was such a nasty old man. I couldn't answer him.

The debates are ove and so is the race. Obama/Biden won all the debates and the race will be his.

Landslide Obama/Biden 08/12.

It was clear that Obama had the uppper hand. He was calmand expressed his plan in detail. McCain seem ANGRRYhis dislike of Obama showed and he was not able to realy express how he was any different from Bush. Saying he is not bush is not enought. As long as he acts like Bush it woudl just be 4more years of the same failed policies.

Simple choice to the country:? Vote for man who was an American fighter pilot or a man born to a Muslim father and with friends who are admitted terrorists and black panthers. Come on white folk wake up and smell the coffee!

Obama clearly won again. Kept his cool while McCain tried to slam his character and get him to step down to McCains level of mud slinging.

Get out and vote people, don't sit back and think Obama has it in the bag. I don't trust the Repubs if the election is somehow close.

The Media have made their decision. Now it is our time to decide. And unless some of us vote all 72 times, McCain will be elected.

Obama clearly won the debate. McCain's personal attacks and obvious confusion are troubling.
We need a clear, calm person in the White House.
Obama is the only intelligent choice.

“Senator Obama, I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago.”
-
Senator McCain, I don't think that's what you really want. Facing an incumbent is usually tougher. Especially one who got us out of Iraq ahead of schedule, saved $2 billion a week in war expenses in Iraq, didn't put our economy in the toilet, didn't spend $700 billion to bail out bankers, didn't fail our children on health care, and lhounded Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan. So maybe you better count yourself lucky that you lost to Bush and I didn't run.

McCain/Palin= 2008 (Over and over and over again)

McCain is like a gossiping old man, he gets stuck on one thing and can't stop, in fact as I said it before McCain and Palin should be running a gossip magazine. McCain and Palin are too lazy to do their own research and get the facts and that's what caused used to be in Iraq today, gossip.

How dare Barack want to "spread the wealth". Imagine that... Clearly we are tired of the nasty attacks and negative campaigning. Come on Nov.4th... Obama/Biden 08.

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOLKS, that's the only way to show your support to Obama/Biden ticket!

McCain needs to lighten up. We all know you don't like Obama but you could at least try to hide it a little when you have 97,000 cameras watching you.

This Joe the Pummer thing sounds so dumb it's beyond belief. HOW MANY PLUMMERS DO ANY OF YOU KNOW THAT MAKES OVER 250K A YEAR. NONE!!!!!!!!

He tried to put a face to a certain group of average Joe's but the problem is that it wont hold water because every plummer is going to think to themselves, hmmm "I dont make anyware near that amount of money so WHO, John McCain are you talking to because its not me?"

The fact of the matter is that John McCain refuses to accept the fact that 95% Of Americans make less than 250k per year. YES McCain, we dont have as much money as you and Cindy. Shocker right?

Archie Bunker is who McCain reminded me of last night...
Insolent, childish, do as I say, don't even think of questioning me your elder and statesman! how dare you insinuate I'm a Liar! You just don't say those things to a man who has served his country as a POW and Politician, Even if I am Lying! (Evert third word that came out of his mouth was a lie or an attack!) Sadly Mr. McCain last night was not ALL ABOUT YOU! It was about the people you couldn't see AMERICANS not your whooping and winning a debate! Your priorities as usual were Skewed! Hence, you were one that got your (you know what) Whooped! Attacks not warranted and statements without substance or plans for America's Future a Debate Doesn't Win. Your Done.

McCains demeanor is what really turns people off
every time Senator Obama spoke, the split screen showed McCain
with a snicker on his face and obvious dislike for Obama
His face could not hide that fact
Sorry but that trait alone speaks volumes about what a bitter angry old guy he really is
Not someone you would want on the world stage representing
America!

CNN-where's the story on the punk kid (David Kernell) who hacked into Sarah Palins e-mail? The punk has already been indicted and arraigned and we're hearing nothing from CNN.

Is it because his father is a Dem. legislator?

This kid is going away for 5 years and CNN should follow him as he becomes the personal plaything of the bad boys in the pokey.

42 MONTHS AFTER OBAMA GAINS POWER WILL BE THE END.

GOD BLESS OUR SOULS!!!!!!!!!!!

After the debate last night, I know now who I am going for. As a minority I am very proud to live in USA and to have a chance to vote, and I know that we need a change. American people are
desperate for change....

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Someone needs to tell McCain that Palin's baby is NOT autistic.

Obama is a Gentleman.
McCain is an angry old man.

Speaking of terrorist,this group and John Mcain were pretty tight.This group praised the shooting of Doctors.Do a google serch and you'll find Mcains involvement
Oregon Citizens Alliance

To those of us outside the US, the financial crisis is largely attributable to deregulated financial markets......

it is greed that spiraled out of control that is the root of the financial crisis.

AND THE WORLD KNOWS THAT IT IS THE REPUBLICANS WHO HAVE PERPETUATED DEREGULATION.

Why can't Americans accept the truth that a free market economy is good ONLY WHEN PROPER REGULATION AND ENFORCEMENT IS IN PLACE!

It is truly amazing to watch Republicans try to spin the cause of the financial woes to the Democrats.....

so much for accountability!!

Yes, CNN, where is Jack Cafferty? We miss him at times like these. Hope he is well and returns soon enough.

Anyway, the last debate was like icing on the cake – level headedness, control of temperament, explicit details of plans (not chasing of his tail) and respect for opponent. There is no room for bullies who would want to bulldoze their way through discussions in this new order. Go Barak/Biden. God bless America.

I think the "tiller" steered the boat into an iceberg last night. McSame looked like a petulant baby most of the night. Obama remained calm, collected and lucid, admirably weathering the tired old barbs tossed his way from the crochety old Senator from Arizona.

OBAMA 08!!

Obama won because he is ... MORE INTELLIEGENT, EASIER TO GET ALONG WITH, AND IS R-E-A-L CHANGE. Obama chose a Vice President that (is) ready to be President, because Obama really cares about America (F-I-R-S-T) I am very, very glad I VOTED for Obama two weeks ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Liberal debate watchers" would be a more accurate title.

I'm just glad they are over

What a shame to be a republican these days.
Wow OBAMA during the debate just took Granpa McCain healthcare plan in front of 70 millions Americans and shred it in pieces and Granpa couldn't even defend his own healthcare plan.
He present his eloquent plan for healthcare reform and all granpa has to say is " Goverment run healthcare".
It's very shamefull that older people that need healthcare the most are supporting grandpa.
These people have no clue.

Did you see McCain struggle when he had to admit that his health plan includes taxing benefits. And who is he kidding when he says the average health plan costs $5800? Maybe if you're an 18 year old kid with no health problems – but if you've got cancer, diabetes, or even asthma there is no way you can get health coverage for that low – especially on the open market.

Seniors and families worried about health care costs need to be very scared of McCain's plan and should flock to Obama.

Spreading the wealth is what 95% of Americans need, John. You are soooo rich you can't possibly understand.

The whole Republican party isn't qualified, everyone can see that very clear, the american people have lost out and will continue to lose under any republican leadership. The republicans have taken the money and are now pointing the finger. President Obama we (my family and friends ) are eargerly awaiting the victory of positive change. The Baton Rouge supporter for Obama/Biden are taking this time to invite / welcome you and your family to Baton Rouge La. Don't worry about the lies. Your supporters in Baton Rouge La. and around the world have your back. Obama, leadership we can all believe in.

Obama / Biden 08'...........................................................

Obama won the first two debates but McCain clearly won last night. He had Obama playing defense. Bringing Joe Plumber in to the debate was a great stategy of McCain. Spreading the wealth comment may be a downfall of Obama It let people realize on main street how Obama's tax plan will effect them. I say raise no one's taxes. People in Alabama are worried about losing their jobs the last thing i need is taxes raised on my employer. I am afraid it will cost me my job. Obama's tax plan does me no good if i'm unemployed. Bob Scheifer did an awesome job with both canidates I learned more last night than all the debates. Taxes, economy, Health care, abortion, education and many other issues were covered thanks Bob for your job as moderator. The deal with Sarah Palin being Qualifed, She is more qualified than any of the Three. She is the only one with executive experience. I might disagree with her on issues but she is the most qualified. and you don't have to wonder where she stands.
If you count the Rick warren forum I'd say McCain and Obama are dead even in debates both are 2 for 2.

The Republican scourge upon this great land is almost over!!!

That one is Karl Marxs friend too:

So does that mean that you are not voting for Obama?(ha,ha). Tell you what, WHEN Obama becomes president, whatever tax breaks Obama gives to you and when the country begins to rebound under his administration, be sure to reject all of that too. Send those tax dollars back and tell them that you don't want them. Or if you own a business and/or you make more than $250,000 and it begins to prosper, please don't be happy about it, you should close up shop so you want have to say Obama did anything for you.

Obama is very presidential & more trustworthy. An Obama/Biden presidentcy is what America need to get this country back up & running. McCain has a bad temper & Palin just don't know anything.
Obama didn't have to go on the attack on Palin because she's doing a good job of looking silly!

That was a good night for Obama, he proved that he can be the leader of this big nation. Mcain was busy attacking his opponent than explaining how he can rescue americans in this bad economic situation. Everybody knows he doesn't like Obama, at least he should respect him during the debate. I'm so sorry about him because he has been in the game for a long time.

I hoped that McCain would be there than himself; but his body language and words showed the same “Sarcastic, Rude, Arrogant, Out of Touch, Unprepared, Undisciplined, Surly, Elitist, Avoiding Responsibility, Combative” person that his historical character. I guess will be saying goodbye to “McNasty”.

He also had, on two occasions, difficulty addressing Senator Obama by his name; just like my 92 year old grand mother.

While CNN National Debate Poll says 57 or 58 percent of Independents say Obama won, 31 percent say McCain won. 12 or 11 percent say draw.

88 percent of democrats say Obama won, only 68 percent of republicans say McCain won.

According to CNN National Debate Poll. Obama wins 58 to 31 percent.. Interviews 40 percent democrats, 30 percent republicans, 30 percent independents.

88 percent of democrats say Obama won,

Do you believe this poll? i dont, It seems to have a 10 percent bias towards Obama.

Did anyone else catch McCain's little jig at the end?

BTW....could you imagine Palin ending up as president? It would be like the Beverly Hillbillies goes to Washington! LOL!

Joe "the plumber" Wurzelbacher is only the second with this name to get national attention. Before him, in 1992, Robert M. Wurzelbacher, Jr, became famous when he was sentenced for his role in the Keating 5 scandal. He is the son in law of Charles Keating himself, you know. Hmm, why didn""t Couric ask Joe if he is any way related to this guy? This would have been an important question, because if Joe happens to be a relative of old McCain buddy Keating, this sure would put the whole plumber issue into a very different light.
Really, why didn""t Couric ask this? Having been lazy with the background check, or simply no curiosity at all???

Is it just me or does anyone else think that the HOT TEMPERED JOHN MCCAIN WOULD BE AN IMPULSE AWAY FROM PUTTING AMERICANS AT WAR. HE IS EASILY DISTRACTED.

THE CYCLE OF LIFE IS NOT KIND. JOHN MCCAIN APPEARED VERY CHILDISH LAST NIGHT.

Joe the plumber might be able to buy that business thanks to the attention Barack gave him, and to show his gratitude he is going to vote for McCain. Its weird how the economy is sinking under republican leadership and your average guy dreaming of one day being rich is already starting to worry about taxes he might pay. Oh, by the way Joe listens to Rush Limbaugh. I heard him on the radio yesterday.

Safe to say that we are pretty sick of nasty politics and John McCain... Come on Nov. 4th.

Didn't McCain lose to Bush last election? And Bush is terrible, so what does that say about McCain?

The whole eye rolling and grunting was so unprofessional and immature. Just another example of how he'd run the country.

Apparently Joe Six Pack went to a tech school and is trying to become Joe the Plumber. Tell him to stop spending money on beer and invest in his education and company. Problem solved.

DebM, Allentown, PA-

One thing I have learned, for my self, during this campaign: Racism is a blanket excuse to condemn everything.
Please explain to me how "Kill Him" is a racist comment. When a gymnasium full of high school kids start chanting "Kill Em" during a pep rally, are they being racist?

McCain reminded me of my father who has dementia... he can be so clear one moment and totally a different person the next. But more than that, if McCain were to become president and something happened, THAT she-devil who is running as his VP scares the living crap out of me. Palin ALONE is enough to keep me from voting for McCain.

The question about Palin left the door wide open for an all out attack on her person. Instead, Barack Obama gallantly focused on her strengths, not on her weaknesses. In doing so, he gave her and the American voters a great amount of respect, hence also seizing the moment. He listed Sarah Palin's merits and strengths (not her weaknesses) knowing full well that the undecided voters (indeed most voters) recognize that even with all her positives, she's just not qualified enough to be a future leader of the free world.

It's over, just vote!!

MCAIN SAY EVERYTHING BUT ( PALIN ) IS QUALIFIED TO VP!

The best thing McCain said was during his closing remarks when he said it boiled down to who we trusted to be the steward of the country to make the right choices.

Dang, straight John. And, no, I don't trust you to be the steward of the country and make the right choices.

CLEAN SWEEP & THE VICTORY PARADE WILL BE JANUARY 20th!!!

Barack Your Vote!!!

Obama won like that was a surprise they won all four debates that show how much experience the other campaign has! Obama withstood all of Mccains attacks Obama let the Old man rant all he wanted last night because he knew when it became thursday morning he would still be winning it states that would have been unthinkable 4 years earlier

Under an Obama presidency, there will be no incentive to work hard or even work at all. We can all just quit our jobs and wait for him to spread the wealth. Or, you can just wait till the labor unions take over all jobs and let them negotiate a bloated salary for you. As long as you keep paying your dues, you'll never be fired.

Can't afford your oversized house and all your toys and gadgets? That's OK cause Uncle Obama will take money from those he thinks have too much and give it to you.

Increasing corporate taxes to the highest in the world is a sure way to get all those jobs to come back! While we wait, Uncle Bammy will keep extending unemployment for all of us!!!

CNN what are you doing with our comments.

Obama is a nice guy, but he is a spender with money we do not have. He and the Democrats have promised to, to much and have forgotten during Clintons admin. there was a PEACE DIVIDEND, we do not have that now unfortunatly. Barack you and a Demo. congress will spend us into the poor house so you and Liberals can feel good for making the low income non-income tax payers a free ride.

2012 Clinton

McCain memorized a bunch of short "speeches" about various topics, but fumbled his words around so badly any effect he was hoping for was lost. I hated that corny "Joe the plumber" story he made up, a clear take-off on Palin's Joe Six-pack. McCain has gone into a mental and physical decline. How can he last four years, much less eight?

Obama is by far the more intelligent of the candidates. I don't agree with all his viewpoints, but he is thoughtful, smart, and flexible enough to do what this country needs. He works well with others, and respects everyone, not just the wealthy. He gets my vote.

I love reading these, and this won't be posted b/c it isn't a glowing report on how wonderful Obama is. Wake up. The man has 0 experience. You want change from a neophyte. Just watch what happens to us now. McCain isn't Bush. A track record of change and going against typical Washington garbage is a much better way to go then to someone with 0 experience. Wake up!

Mccain came across as an angry, disgruntled, whiny little man....'If only Obama would have agreed to serious town hall metting's with me, the tone of the campaign might be different.

Look at me, everybody wake up look at my record of 30 plus years in washington...I'm the man, I'm the one, this guy can't shine my boots, why is he onstage with me.... America don't you see I'm the experienced one....

Put a fork in him, zip up the body bag, send him home....Game over... The bucket list candidate and the Bimbo don't get the whitehouse...

After the debate I sat and wondered about all the hate and the bad choices the McCain campaign made. Watching McCain throwing once again the William Ayers thing back out into the spotlight trying to make Sen, Obama look bad just tells me that if this is the way that McCain deals with issues and that he is not the man I want as president.

I can clearly see that Sen. Obama as the right person for the job!

McCain was rude, dismissive and i am surprised he didnt call Obama a "Whipper Snapper" half way through the debate.
His time is past, someone needs to tell him to step down and enjoy his twilight years. He certainly is not whats best for this country –

Obama will be a good president. If he stays middle ground and doesnt fall into some of the traps of "wershington" he could be a great president. With Obama we have a fighting chance.
With McCain its definately more of the same – Are we better off than we were 8 years ago? I know Im not!

I am a registered nurse making about $35,000 a year in Florida. I am not sorry for Joe the plumber. He can stand to pay a little more in taxes, I and others like me need a tax break far more. If I hear another word about 'average joe' the plumber making over $200,000 a year, I am going to scream.

I'm glad McCain brought up many points such as Ayers and ACORN to give Obama the opportunity to dismiss those accusations with sound explanations. For anyone to know continue to question those two issues are reaching for straws.

OBAMA WINS ALL THE THREE DEBATE !! MCSAME IS LOOSER !!

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MCSAME FACE ON NOV.5 ... GO HOME MCCAIN !!

Grrrrrrrrrr! Grrrrrrrrrr! I'm not Bush I'm McAngry.

Get ready to see all the Republicans bolt away from McCain in the next week. They know he can't win now and they are going to position themselves for Palin 2012.

McSame is George Bush's Clone!!

McCain is in line with the Republican script: negativity, non-issues. America is tired of it. That got the Republicans in office the last two elections, but NOT THIS TIME. America will go in a new direction, decency and respect for each other, inspite of our views on social and financial policies. No matter what party you align yourself with, we need to have common respect and regard for each other – conservatives, liberals, moderates, Black, White, Asian or Native American, rich or poor, gay or straight, male or female. America represents a wide array of peoples, opinions & cultures and we need to reflect that in our behaviour through tolerance. May God bless America.

They forgot to mention that "Joe the Plumber" like Warren Buffet will probably pay less in taxes than their secretary and bookkeeper because of the deductions that are available to business owners at the expense of individual citizens.

Thus, higher taxes for business owners means, equal taxation of all.

This was John McCain's best debate performance and he seemed angry and frustrated. He came across in a negative way, in my opinion. He seemed unprepared. He brought up Ayers which was 40 years in the past. We need to move foward. Anyone who votes for this man is really not an open minded objective thinker.

For all the bloviating that John McCain is not GWB 43, his record shows that he voted with Bush 90% of the time. There are ads running today that back up the FACT that McCain is a wannabe Bush or is it Bush's soulmate? The ad has John himself quoting proudly that he's voted with the sitting president 90% of the time.

The face contortions John was making was a turn-off. He appeared on the cusp of losing his composure multiple times.

And for the phony outrage John claimed about being smeared by Obama and having people at Obama rallies inciting hate, provide some proof please. And while we're on the subject of repudiating hateful language, John, I expect you to publicly denounce the language your running mate Sarah Violation of Ethics Palin keeps using in her stump speeches in the great "northwestern" states like New Hampshire and Maine.

Can you hear me now? Joe Plumber needs a cell tower, too...

McCain looked uncomfortable, the whole time. He sat there like a tightly coiled wire. It wasobvious that he was irritated that he couldn't rattle Obama. How dare Obama be more eloquent than he? That was the question that McCain so desperately would like an answer to. Think Americans if it is wise to elect someone like McCain with such a volatile temperament to the office of the White House! Who knows what will be the trigger for pushing the red button under him!!??

Polls are polls, but voters are the only ones who will really matter. The voters will elect Obama by 6-8 points or better. McCain did little to help himself last night because he has little to offer and not much to stand on.

is joe the plumber a skinhead?

Spreading the Wealth is not socialism...giving all the tax breaks to the richest in the country and world is WRONG and only a rich person would be happy to keep more money while theri fellow Americans lose their house and can't keep food the table. I am a republican, but may have to switch parties because I cannot stomach the greed the republican party is displaying. Greed is not a Christian value!!

We should all start signing our names on this sight as
Cindy The Travel Agent
Or Karl the Electrician
Or Kent the Accountant
Or Debbie the Bartender... ha ha ha!

I have made my choice to cast my vote for Obama. This is election has been long winded and I feel as bad as John McCain looked in this last debate. I also do not like his choice for VP Governor Palin.

Once for John McCain now for Obama.

Has Obama lost any poll conducted by CNN?

Has McCain lost any poll conducted by Fox?

You are all unreliable, biased, and therefore of no value.

The Wal-Mart moms of America will step into the privacy of the voting booth and tell you everything you want to know. The Bradley effect will be re-explained to those who have forgotten.

I truly Pray Obama/Biden win. I truly pray that our Lord above provide them with what they need to bring our country back where we belong. Strong and powerful. I truly hope John MCCain enjoy his last days with his wife and family on some vacations. I truly hope Sarah Palin go back to Alaska and take care of her family.

God Bless America ""we surely need it"

Hey McCain, JOE THE PLUMBER DOES NOT REPRESENT ME!!!!

I don't have enough money to BUY A BUSINESS.

My husband, and Auto Body Man, BARELY gets enough work to pay the bills.

Go ahead JOE, BUY that business........IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY, ISN'T IT?

Listen People, Don't allow your intelligence to be insulted. MCain has NO new policies, but rather the same as BUSH has. Don't be blinded by all the attacks that McCain is lashing because it's only to get the spotlight off of him. McCain is a joke and actualluy undestimated OBAMA. McCain tries to play on the Americam people's feelings....He McCain we have a message for you. "We are smarter than what you think, we see your true color"

I want to know if there is any truth to the allegations that there is a cozy relationship between Obama and the Fact Check organization. Hmmm. Is the so called independant watch dog perhaps a bit biased?

I'm most disappointed in CNN and MSNBC's post debate. They all geve the edge to McCain, when he clearly had a terrible performance. It makes me think that MSN wants to keep it close or have a very hard time getting off a bandwagon once a republican panalist (Bennett or Buchanan) plants the seed.

I think this is a case where the Democrats will say Obama won, while the Republicans will say that McCain definitely won. In all honesty, I'd have to call it a draw. Having said that, tie goes to the leader. And, right now, that's Obama. McCain needed to put Obama away. I don't think he did that.

McCain was terrible-First he came in angry, defiant and condescending. McCain wasn't listening, he was planning his next argument. That is not a positive for him. McCain was sarcastic and thought he could bully Obama and bring him down. You know what? Obama being mixed African American/White has had to deal with many barriers in his life. Do we honestly think that it didn't prepare him for McCain? Look, McCain got into a top school was saved from humility and allowed to be a pilot because of his grandfather and father. McCain's future was laid at his feet. He didn't have academic qualifications to be admitted to the school but his father stepped in and he was admited. His background and privilege allowed McCain the life he has right now. Being a POW was a terrible experience for him but again his family name save him. McCain may be just a cake walk for Obama. Obama has been accused of so many things from the McCain campaign and he has just moved through it. This tells me that Obama is much tougher than we give him credit and also he knows his own truth. Obama is pretty secure in who he is, this is a man who now knows his identity and that gives him a great quality for leadership.

GO OBAMA/BIDEN

John McCain, Came off as very anger. He has a very serious problem with his temperment. I feel if he can't control his temper,when sitting on a stage participating in a debate, how can he be trusted not to fly off the handler, when it come to dealing with enemies of the United States. I for one, feel that John McCain can't be trusted, We don't need Another President that's living in the past. One that will shoot first and ask questions later. NO more TRIGGER HAPPY-CAN'T GET IT RIGHT IDOITS in the White House.

I thought John McCain was very condesending in the debate. Always making faces and attacking Obama. Do we really want someone like that representing us with Foreign Dignitaries and such. I think that McCain is always talking about his record and how much he has done in Congress, so maybe we should allow him to stay in Congress and keep up the good work.

Obama Presidential McCain Bush

Yes it was a very fair panel of judges that CNN set up to cast votes with after the debate. !2 Democrats, 11 independents, and 7 republicans. I would say that they gave a very fair poll. Whoopie CNN you have struck again for you candidate.

READ THIS CLINTONS. I SUPPORTED YOU THROUGH THICK AND THIN. WAS BEHIND HILLARY AND INVESTED MONEY INTO HER CAMPAIGN. I GOT NEWS FOR YOU AND THE MEDIA NOT ALL US HILLARY SUPPORTERS HAVE JUMPED ON OBAMA'S BAND WAGON. AND HILLARY DON'T COUNT ON THIS THE NEXT POLITICAL RUN YOU MAKE.

You guys that think McBlinky still has a chance to win the election simply don't understand the electoral college. It's over. It was over long before last night's debate.

Steady leadership is what Obama represents.
Change is what Obama will bring.
Even McCain says Obama is eloquently spoken. So true.
Obama will make a wonderful statesman.
Let's face it, Obama is just more Presedential.

Being a lifelong Democrat (not anymore) I cannot watch either candidate....GIVE me a break Mr. Obama NO ONE is as saintly as you make yourself out to be...and MR.McCain you almost had my vote (I was voting against OBAMA,not voting for you)until you picked Palin. I want CNN to show us just how much Hillary Clinton would be winning this election if she were the Democratic nominee against McCain!!!!!! Show us that POLL and then TELL ME THE BARACK IS STILL THE BEST. Obama's fans are pulling the same stunts they pulled on the CLINTONS...WORSE CAMPAIGN,,,MEAN SPIRITED.. BILL is a RACIST give me a break....I will not vote at all.....

For those of you still undicided, I have a suggestion. Think:
PRESIDENT PALIN!!!!!!

C L E A R V I C T O R Y F O R O B A M A

It wasn't even close. President Obama was poised, intelligent and offered substance while John McCain appeared agitated, fiegity and gave little if any substance AND TOOK A SHOT AT WOMAN TO END THE ENTIRE THING.

CLOSING REMARKS SAID IT ALL. JOHN MCCAIN WAS ALL ABOUT HIM AND BARACK OBAMA WAS ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE.

McCain made very clear last night ; he is old, senile, crachity, self centered, self serving, needs to be right even when proven wrong and his needs and agenda takes precedence over truth, facts, Americans, a United America, and Peace. If it's not what he needs, wants, likes, preferes, it won't be on his Agenda. And that means as a President, God Forbid it ever happen, it won't be on Americans Agenda either!
His outright lies even in the face of Truth, Leave me utterly Speechless! He also has no shame or backbone. He's a Disgrace.

..only one of them was wearing a flag lapel pin.

And it wasn't McCain.

Of course CNN. I didn't expect to see it the other way coming from your slanted coverage. For all Baracks complaining about Fox news... You guys (CNN) along with NBC, ABC, CBS are all but and have been openly campaigning for the man. You should be ashamed of your reporting and journalistic integrity. The same goes for the others in your company. Keep it up.

As an Obama supporter, I actually thought that McCain was hurting Obama with 'Joe the Plumber'; turns out the independents and undecideds were turned off by the constant references to him.

McCain also lost points on:

-Roe v. Wade and his stance on abortion
-Health Care (the look on McCain's face when Obama said Joe the Plumber's penalty would be zero was PRICELESS)
-Tax Plan
-VP Qualification

The list goes on.

Really looking forward to Obama's Oct. 29th speech, and voting Obama/Biden on Nov. 4th.

I'm an expert at body language and you could tell Obama was holding back his anger. There were a few times he actually had a scared expression when McCain attacked him. When the Ayers conversation
came up, you could tell on Obama's face that there was more to that then he led on!

If you watched the debate, you could not help but notice that McCain is extremely UN-Presidential. He cannot help himself to the face making, snearing and eye rolling. Is this a guy we want in the drivers seat to lead our nation? To meet with other world leaders? The meetings would be over before they began. His temper and digust is right there, boiling below the surface. And most importantly, he offers no plans. He wants an apology with reference to John Lewis's observations, yet offers no apologies for Palin inciting, and then not tempering, the hatred and name calling in her rallies. It is time for mature leadership. While the solutions are not pretty, we can no longer deny that we are stuck in the ditch that Bush dug us into.

Senator John McCain needs some serious ANGER management program!

Please get yourself some help, Senator McCain!

Obama, the polls said you won. However, I believe you lost because you did not take advantage of the opportunities to knock out McCain.

On Joe the Plummer, you were not clear at all. Your policy states clearly what you would do however, you were not clear.

On Palin, she continues to mislead the American people, you said nothing.

On Bush, you had more opportunities to tie McCain lies to Bush, you said nothing.

You were not clear regarding the BENEFITS of having Joe Biden on your team, instead you allowed McCain to tear down Biden, you said nothing.

You could have been more forceful regarding the un-American comments about your being a terrorist but you said nothing!!

Obama was presidential. McCain was like a nervous, vicious and shifty eyed person who is ashamed of his behavior.

i think the polls have it right. mccain IS bush III.

Obama is not planning on "spreading the weath" He is planning on "spreading the poverty" Hello, were broke. Its not enough that 95% of america is in the hole, lets make it the entire 100%. There is only one problem with that strategy. Its been tried before and failed. When Fidel Castro decided to make everyone's possessions in Cuba belong to "the state" He was successful, but anyone with a brain left the island, and he got stuck will all the idiots. Subsequently, Cuba did not do well and is now one of the poorest countries in the carribean when it used to be the richest. Do you really think people with a brain are going to sit around and get dumped on? No!. They can go somewhere else. And anyone intelligent is already investing abroad because we know where this country is headed with socialist leaders like Obama.

The only Maverick is James Garner. McCain acted like a typical Washington blowhard politician last night. He has no plans, so all he can do is attack someone who does have solid plans and who surrounds himself with advisors who are intelligent.

My business brings in more then 250.000 per year and Im voting for Obama because McCain wants to sacrifice my son so he can start the Christian rapture.

I feel as though Senator Obama was on top of his game during the debate. I must say he address all issues with a strategic plan and confidence. He impowers the people of American's to become a part of the solution. I am looking for a change and Senator Obama is the mold for change and he transcends past race, color, or creed. We are Americans who need to go in a different direction and look forward to the future.

THE NEW WORLD ORDER!

It's 3:00am and McCain is pissed – because he just is!

Putin calls.......and John the Maverick has his finger on the RED SWITCH. After explaining that Putin is nothing but a no good KGB with a rubber mask on..................The Mav flips the switch and chuckles.

Palin wakes up and asks... John ...what the hell are you doing? and she says......that's my fighter, you blow that SOB neighbor of mine right off the face of this earth.......Cindy turns, you all stop playing around and come back to bed.

Something to Think about as one blogger has stated.from another blogger

"It's laughable for us in the USA to watch columnists overseas project such nonsense onto our election. As it happens, "Joe the Plumber" is a fraud, and emblematic of the fraud that is the McCain campaign. In fact, "Joe" is hardly a neutral voter – he's not even a voter. His father and brother are deeply connected to Republican groups, and his father's father-in-law is the notorious Charles Keating, to whom a Congressional investigation found McCain responsible for granting political favors. "Joe" himself earns well under the amount that would subject him to an Obama tax increase, and he is NOT EVEN REGISTERED TO VOTE".

I'm not even going to waste my time debating the GOP puppets who post on this site, I think the candidates last night spoke for themselves and their poise and demeanor (or lack thereof, Senator McCain), spoke volumes. I don't want a president who is going to sneer, roll his eyes, scoff or interrupt someone else multiple times every time he hears something he doesn't like or agree with. Can you imagine his meetings with foreign leaders?

Barack the Vote people!

Obama did win. Because Obama has a strategy for our economic recovery. McBush has only a morbid fascination with Professor Ayers.

I agree with this analysis, also with the fact that we expected nothing different. McCain has been acting like the typical, almost comic-book politician. On Obama's part, he had no need to get into a fight-that doesn't make either side look good-and refused to be goaded into it by a last-chance-at-it McCain. Looks like the respondents saw much the same thing.

Obama will make a very fine President Obama. McCain will, after a few short months at most, fade into the background of grinding out the Senate's important work. Joe Biden will make a very fine Vice President Biden. Palin will, after a few short weeks, be chased back to Alaska, eaten by a grizzly bear or stomped by a moose we'll be told.

I think McCain won the debate!

I especially liked it when he told Obama....

"I'm not Bush, if you wanted to run against Bush, you should have run 4 years ago."

I thought it also spoke VOLUMES the way Obama didn't repute the VERY awful statement of Lewis concerning Race Baiting!

What an arrogant Left Wing Nut Job in Training Pants!

Obama is a very dirty Chicago Politician who is doing his best to steal the general election in ant way he can!

Along with Dodd, Reid, and Pelosi he will bring this Weak economy to its knees!

And leave our Great Nation at risk from attack with a Weak, naive President!

McCain/Palin-08

I really wish Obama said what he really thinks about Palin's ability to be President. I think that was a moment for him to really attack McCain's judgement. McCain's inability to recognize that his own campaign's tactics started the real negative hits- the police officer in Florida, Palin saying Obama "pals around" with terrorists and not stopping in the middle of a speech to repudiate hateful remarks is despicable in my opinion.

The debate was very nice. Obama is a true leader! His body language was excellent. McCain on the other side was very aggressive and restless! Obama/Biden08!

Then, when the programmers deem it time, they accuse the honorably elected of being tyrants and liars, just like their own rotten dads were. They use the “hate-your-father-love-your-mother” media to render those perceived deadbeat dads powerless and the nation leaderless.

One day, they intend to awaken millions of angry sleepers, reared by a matriarchal shadow underworld government, to run wild in the streets bringing their beloved despots to power.

It gets much worse. Let irrational debate grow to the point of paralyzing gridlock, to create an appearance of weakness that emboldens terrorists to blow up an entire city. Then point the finger of blame at the innocent-a father figure-for being responsible.

University-programmed journalists-elitist intellectuals and rebels against traditional fatherly discipline-with all their enabling feminine sensitivities, will then hail terrorists as heroes fighting for their rights against bullies.

Because propaganda alters our perception of reality, good becomes evil and evil becomes good, as in Nazi Germany. The biblical “Give us Barabbas” mentality is here again. It happened to Spain, and now witness the horror in Russia. Much worse is in store for America.

Knowing that the corrupted are their slaves, the programmers have created two cultures in conflict, one of them opposed to the Founding Fathers’ intent. If they cannot get their way “democratically,” they will incite a civil war. Now do you see why the God-centered family is the target for destruction?

This toxic culture is no accident: it is the result of a sophisticated psycho-political battle for our minds and hearts. Awaken now-turn from your manipulators’ cunning and forgive them. Throw away your drugs and booze; come home to family through the truth that makes and keeps us free.

McCain is just pathetic, he let his campaign run out of control. He did look better in this debate, but too little too late. Palin is dumb, she needs to go home and take care of her baby, which needs her more.

Poor Joe the Plumber ... it could always be worse!

I can appreciate the situation of “Joe the Plumber” but everyone has ups and downs. Be happy with you health and well being. COUNT YOU’RE BLESSINGS and GOOD FORTUNE!

I am disabled wish I could work and make over $250,000.00. But I guess it was not in the cards for me when I was working 32 to 40 hours plus sometimes. Now I am making 66% of a maxed out rate with workers comp $470. per week rather than the $1500 (I will never see a raise either from that $470.00 per week)or more a week. Oh don't get me wrong it only took five years to get my Social Security once they took in consideration my Worker Comp I receive about $1,000 per month (with no interest or penalties like the government would do if it was the other way around) because of having a judge that was against giving young people the benefits (only approving 33% of her cases when every other judge was in lows 70%) which I paid into for almost 26 years now am 41 years old. But I barely can walk (with cane or wheelchair, sit, stand for any length of time. Most of my day is being drugged of my due to illness. So please don't take this the wrong way but it's hard to sympathize when there are allot of very special Joes, Marys, Kens, Bobs and so on which have it much worse!!!

Sen. Obama did win but he did his best to 'hold himself' enabling McCain to regain some dignity in the campaign. Sen. McCain came off , to me, as whinning, and at times appeared agitated that Sen. Obama was giving a 'honest' answer. And for the life of me, I couldn't figure out why he was blinking his eyes so excessively. Sen. McCain showed his fun side by including the Plummer (keep in mind in the 30, 40's and 50's there were lots of Republican plummers, my Grandfather included), though Sen. Obama also showed his humor by inlcuding him as well, and drove his point home that small buisness would benifit with his plan. It was a good debate, civil.

Nov 4th, HERE WE COME!!!

BARACK OBAMA 2008!! The change we need, the change we believe in, the change we want!!

McCain lost this debate by his body language: angry, sneering, blinking, rolling eyes. He simply does not look trustworthy, much less presidential.

What a shame!The experience candidate lost 3 out of 3 just as he came 894 out of 899 in Navy Academy.Seriously,America don't need
a mediocre as PRESIDENT.Period

STRIKE THREE!

BACK TO ARIZONA....

Americans are really really awake more and better every time. Very smart watchers.

No one is perfect, flawless. But you gotta pick the one with more sense of leadership.

Obviously Obama is "that one".

Obama appeared to be calm and respectful. There were several times where McCain interrupted Obama and at least once that McCain corrected the moderator. McCain could have done a little better, but he couldn't have made it a "game changer" unless Obama made a major mistake.

My god, it look like Sen. McCain, was going to blow any minute now. I kept saying he look's crazy.

How sad. I am trully happy for Sen. Obama, he is not a hot head.

Congrats!! Sen. Obama!!!!!

Obama is palling around with Warren Buffet, not Ayers!

Obama just looked and sounds like the more polished person in that debate! The plit scene told the real story of the debate! Thank God cnn
had it set up that way! BTW if you use yahoo for your email, you should know tha 80% of the video and 70% of the articles on yahoo come from THE FOX NEWS NETWORK!!! I"M CHANGING MIND TODAY!!!

Last night John McCain failed to close the deal. He (John McCain) attacked Senator Obama rather than explaining his economic ideas fully. John McCain has been placed in a BOX that he would prefer giving Tax Breaks to Millionaires, versus giving money to the people who make millionaires, Billionaires . Also he looked so bad. Obama was a fresh looking guy that had good ideas.

Give me a break! Who won? Of course Obama won cause his majority of already decided supporters like him.

Meaningful evaluation of who won might be achieved by tallying those voters who have changed their voting intentions as a result of the debate.

Obama won by a wide margin. McCain just keeps fidgeting himself more and more and looks like a mad smurf. Papa smurf needs to realize he's lost.

My husband and I have a successful small business. As business owners and devote christians we think you should share the wealth. What happened to the basic principle the more you give the more you receive? How can businesses be successful if you have no responsibility to the people who work for you. If you keep the people from earning proper wages and you don't help them have health care they cannot spend money on goods and services. The direction of the Republican Party is responsible for the average people not to afford to live anymore, which in turn brings down all businessess bottem line. I am tired of the Repubicans using Jesus as a way to get a vote, while they practice greed. We will gladly pay taxes if we earn the income of 250,000 a year, which we are not even close because as soon as we were able we purchased insurance for our employees. Guess what? The more we give to our employes the more successful we become. Our employes do not quit and we have a line of great people waiting to work for our company.

Our vote will go to Barack Obama

YESSSSS!!! he did win..

BARACK THE VOTE!!!

Obama won the debate, no doubt. McCain sounded angry, petulant, and at times frankly incoherent. His facial expressions were at times very bizarre. Obama stuck to his points with calm, grace, and dignity. Very presidential. Obama has my vote.

you can tell the mounting frustration not only with the GOP, the McCain campaign, but also Sen McCain himself. Sen Obama seems so calm and answered most questions directly and even didn't bash Gov Palin when he had the chance to do so. Sen McCain, while on the offense most of the night appears like he can not get to
this guy and it shows that it bugs him. So far everything he's tried from negative ads to direct conflict isn't working. Yet it was said that John Kerry won all 3 debates from Pres Bush and look where THAT got us, so there is still a ray of hope for the GOP yet.

After John McCain had his own "you know what" served to him on a platter last night, it appears the only thing he has left is to see that new voters in Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, Nevada, and Pennsylvania do not get to vote.

Great! I am getting sick of this election already. Vote for Obama!

the grumpy old man – John McCain – you can only attack because you no poistion. The next president showed his poise, intelligence, good judment and strength of character – go Obama. Obama handled himself magnificently he clearly showed why he should our country in the difficult years ahead.

John McCain head off into the sunset – let Palin return to Alaska – and with grace end your bid for the white house.

Of course Obama won.....he was respectful, eloquent, steady, calm, and thoughful. McCain who said he wasn't Bush....opens his mouth and confirm just the opposite! He was grunting and sighing all night, had this ghoulish grin on his face, he was stiff, he was mostly negative, his little hands could barely reach the top of the table, he was argumentative and made me feel very very scared....everytime McCain spoke my blood pressure went up.....everytime Obama spoke I felt better and more trustful. I know none of these men can solve all of the problems that Americans are facing, but I am placing my bet, and taking a chance on Obama that he will be there for the common man, and that he would do a better job!

May God Bless America!

After watching all the three debates, i've come to a conclution that Obama is the only candidate that can bring about CHANGE in America.

McCain comes across as just another politician that wants us to care more about his opponents past than about the issues. Sure he is a war hero, but that wont help me pay for my Healthcare or help me keep my job.

so i'm switching to Obama, i cant believe i'm going to vote for a democrat, but we need change, and McCain cant bring real change.

One of the things that stood out to me is the fact that McCain was constantly blinking. Something I that I was taught is that when interviewing people to look for body language for tells that the interviewee is lying.

The Republican stance seems so logical. Let the people keep their money. "Let Joe spread around Joe's money." Fact is, its the Republicans who have spent all of Joes money already – to the tune of $10 trillion dollars. Someone has to pay that back!! Both parties have proved their ability to spend. Only one has proven (since 1960) anyway that they can balance their spending with taxes.

The debt is a $400 billion dollar per annum monkey on the nations back. Whether we want to or not, we need to start feeding that monkey or it will stay there forever. (Its a coincidence that Bush looks so much like a monkey isn't it?)

McCain's "best" line was that he's not President Bush-although, like his attempts to connect Obama to ACORN (McCain has offered just as much support to them as Obama has) and Ayers (repeating the same lies only to have Obama coolly correct him), it was a lie as well.

The resemblance to the Bush-Cheney administration is so uncanny that it's downright eerie. McCain votes with Bush over 90% of the time, supported the Iraq War while all but ignoring Afghanistan; Palin believes the Vice President is SUPPOSED to jump to-and-fro between the legislative and executive branches to escape investigations, and has been found guilty of violated ethics laws and abusing her power as Governor.

The ONLY substantive difference? This time the Republican Presidential candidate is the one with the short temper and the VP candidate is the one with no clue.

So when will Barry come clean about the $800,000?!?!

Call it what it is...a tie. There was no real winner.

Obama stated his same old issues...except for really telling the American people about his relationship with Ayres. He skirted that issue.

McCain should of called him out on many more issues, such as Wright.

Overall, my vote still goes to McCain. I want less government. Obama is proposing socialism on my issues and welfare.

I work too hard for my money and not to support others who do nothing to advance themselves.

McCain/Palin '08!

What a shame!The experience candidate lost 3 out of 3 just as came
894 out of 899 in Navy Academy.Serioously,America don't need a
mediocre as PRESIDENT.Period

McCain looked very uncomfortable last night. At some point I thought he was going to jump on Obama and choke him! He should have tried to watch his body language and be more coherent in his answers and attacks. He simply could not shake Obama. Obama was simply more presidential and diplomatic. Good debate though!

ok. obama wins. everything. its over.

President Barack Obama

Yes we can!!!!

McCain's downfall was spendingtime whining that OBAMA give him an apology for what John Lewis said, OBAMA took the high road by not turning around and demanding that McCain apologize for the lack of repudiation from his running mate whose rhetoric is inciting the calls to "kill em." John McCain's quotation remarks about a mothers health did not bode well for many women. It came off as disrespectful for the women who are put into those horrible situations. McCain looked like a cast member from one of the Grumpy old men movies. The split screen showing him grind his teeth, make strange and angry smiles at OBAMA's remarks, and pretty much overall look upset and uncomfortable did not present him as a calm leader during a time of crisis who can dispose of the panic and lead our nation into the future.

McCain look like a confused bull dog all night. His over the top reactions while Obama was speaking and continual interuption of Obama was driving me mad.

Clearly Senator McCain won this debate. He was specific on his voting record in the Senate, spelled out an economic plan that ("Joe the Plumber" agreed with rather than with Obama's; alsoit was refreshing when Joe said he doesn't follow others like sheep and wants to see this country remain a democracy and not Socialist), and noted that as late as 2001 Ayers said he wished he had bombed more buildings in the country. McCain also exposed the "pinhead" with ACORN and notice how Obama steered clear of the Congressman Lewis situation that clearly needed a refutation out of the Obama camp, but never came. A clear win for Senator McCain.

I thought that Barack handled himself very well considering McCain was throwing all he could at the Senator. He wanted to attack his character but he instead made himself look weak and unpolished. McCain's ideas came across better this debate than previous ones, but he contradicts himself too much and when he becomes angry as he did last night becomes flustered and uncentered. Not sure this is a good trait in our Commander in Chief. Barack has consistently handled himself better and even while under attack comes across as more likeable.

Well, I though John McCain did well. He was prepared and came out ready to play hard ball. However, Obama stood his ground & showed real strength of character and determination of purpose. That's the sort of leader American needs now. That's the sort of leader America needs for the world.

However, I strongly disagree ... and always will disagree with Obama's stand on abortion!! Having a child, never was & never will be a matter of the right to privacy! It is a social matter that strikes to the very heart of humanity. The taking of another human life, especially the most innocent, is not a matter of the right to privacy!

Abortion must be abolished.

No game changer for McCain. I actually was going to vote for McCain at the beginning of the election. However, since he picked Palin (unqualified), and since his campaign has turned into a smear campaign bordering on down right racist, I have decided to vote democratic for the first time in 20 years. McCain is not the same person of the last 10 years, and has really changed in the past few months. His campaign is so out of line with what he stated he believed in in the past, I feel sorry for him that he has lowered himself to the level he has, just to win this election. How sad for the people who really loved John McCain prior to his conversion to ultra conservative, right wing thinking.

I DISAGREE! Obama gave NO answers! How can people miss that. He is another lying politician. He gave no answer on where he is going to find 800+billion to pay for unecessary social programs. I don't think we should increase taxes to expand medicaid and extend unemployment...How about getting americans JOBS, so they can pay for things THEMSELVES. We don't need rations of beans and rice obama, this is not CUBA! And if healthcare was so good over there, why is it all cubans want to come over here???!!! HELLO.

Obama never repudiated the racist things Congressman Lewis said last night. Why because he is using the race card, just like he has this whole election. He accuses other people of being racist against him, I have yet to hear McCain or any of his surrogates say a racist remark. Yet the democrats continue to say racist things against McCain. African American people can be racist too not just white people. Obama instead attacked the people that come to rallies for McCain as racist. McCain allows everyone to attend his rallies, Obama denies entry to his rallies from the opposition and he never says anything to his crowds when they attack McCain or say degrading things about Palin. yet McCain has stood up to people at his rallies and stoped them from saying racist things about Obama. Who seems like the person more able to lead, the one who is stopping the division of this country or the one who is doing more to divide our country then any other presidential cadidate?

YES, without a doubt Obama won!! McCain too GRUMPY!!! By the way, I recall at the beginning of all this there was such a FUSS about Obama not wearing a FLAG PIN............................can someone tell me where was McCain's FLAG PIN last night?????????? I guess he wasn't feeling very patriotic just disgruntled!

PLEASE...........LET'S VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DANGER WILL ROBINSON! DANGER! DANGER JOHN MCCAIN!!

DANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

University-programmed journalists-elitist intellectuals and rebels against traditional fatherly discipline-with all their enabling feminine sensitivities, will then hail terrorists as heroes fighting for their rights against bullies.

Because propaganda alters our perception of reality, good becomes evil and evil becomes good, as in Nazi Germany. The biblical “Give us Barabbas” mentality is here again. It happened to Spain, and now witness the horror in Russia. Much worse is in store for America.

Knowing that the corrupted are their slaves, the programmers have created two cultures in conflict, one of them opposed to the Founding Fathers’ intent. If they cannot get their way “democratically,” they will incite a civil war. Now do you see why the God-centered family is the target for destruction?

This toxic culture is no accident: it is the result of a sophisticated psycho-political battle for our minds and hearts. Awaken now-turn from your manipulators’ cunning and forgive them. Throw away your drugs and booze; come home to family through the truth that makes and keeps us free.

I agree that Obama won this debate. McCain is an angry old man that just wants to continue Bush's policies. We have had enough! Eight years is enough. It is time for this country to go into a positive direction with a positive president that has new ideas.

Obama/Biden 2008

McCain is OFF HIS ROCKER

WWII was four years and people rationed and bought bail bonds – taxes went up to invest in infrastructure. How can we run a 8 year war without asking for sacrifice, including a public responsibility to invest in our children's future? If we don't invest/and pay with taxes/ the U.S. will become a 2nd rate country.

McCain's Bank Bailout has no rational basis when there is no model for valuations that continue to go down with no floor in sight. Why reward the Banks for uncollateralized loans at inflated valuations??? It makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.

McCain seemed angry and rude, rolling his eyes and making faces while Obama was speaking.

McCain continues to mis-characterize Obama's Health care proposals and Obama's Tax proposals.

The only thing McCain can offer is a continuation of Bush's tax policies, Obama offers a new direction. This election should be a blow out.

Obama/Biden – 2008

I concur

McCain seemed like he was wound up in a knot. At one point around minute 60, it appeared that the top of his head turned red.

I don't know if Obama "won" so much as McCain quickly deteriorated. McCain's reactions on the split screen bounced back and forth between smug and angry. I also didn't appreciate McCain's constant laughing at his opponent. Very unpresidential. Obama remained even keeled. McCain would harp on topics that had nothing to do with prime issues. Example: ACORN and voter fraud. As if Obama is responsible, or responsible for Lewis' speech or Bill Ayers. McCain took the stance Obama had to somehow atone to McCain. It came across miserably. McCain wants to spin webs of suspicion to score with voters and fell flat on his face. So IMHO McCain lost because of his poor performance.

CNN–your "scoring the candidates is rigged!" I voted an A for McCain because I thought it was his best debate, and a D for Obama because I thought it was his worst....but your scorecard shows him as an A vote!

Now that is change you can believe in. Kind of like the Soviet Union, don't you think?

McCain looked like a bitter, angry, self-absorbed, DESPERTE old man who knows he is going down for the count!

You Betcha!

At least McCain won in the two most important categories for republicans: attack and business-as-usual.

Does anyone believe that McCain would actually be able to give tax breaks to everyone by cutting out pork barrel spending?

He also tried to steal Obama's energy initiative plan for creating jobs based on energy independence. How McCain would accomplish this while enacting an across-the-board spending freeze is anyone's guess.

McCain promises to be a Christmas tree but he's really just a Bush with tensil.

GO OBAMA / BIDEN!

3 for 3 for Barack!

Obama keeps saying he doesn't have a mandate on his health care program. Yet when he was debating Clinton he said he had a mandate that all children must have health insurance. I believe every parent wants health insurance for their children. He said his fine last night is zero dollars. Then how is he going to enforce this mandate? Put the parents in jail? And if his program will make healthcare affordable for everyone, why must he have the mandate?

***Can someone please tell me, or find out, what is it that John McCain is writing when he first comes into the debate session? What could that all possibly be about?***

We can no longer trust the reporting of the media in this election. New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, CBS, NBC, and ABC are all in the tank for an inexperienced Senator, left of Mao, with alliances to terrorists and felons, nurtured by the most corrupt political machine in the country. This man has nothing to offer except completing the turning of the USA into a third world shetal.

jg

As you may know we Canadian just spent $300 million dollars to go back to VERY MUCH THE SDAME.
For the first time in many years together with my wife we follow up American politics, now the debate last night we thought that Mr. McCain would have learned by now and pay ,more attention to the matters that affect the main street Americans, instead he kept attacking Mr. Obama…in our opinion Mr. McCain goose is COOKED

Jose & Rene Gonzalez

McCain came across as a grumpy old man, agitated and rude. He needs to leave his political world of distortion and self-delusion, retire, and go fishing. And while he is at it, he can take with him another grumpy old man who is equally agitated and rude and prone to telling partial truths and making distortions-Lou Dobbs. Talk about Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee!

Obviously, the crowd was overwhelmingly made up of Democrats. Here is the problem: Obama looks great and he speaks tremendously. He is, no doubt, a great orator. However, on substance he gets defeated soundly by McCain. But people are so thick headed and uninformed that they don't look past the Obama packaging.

mccain sayes he is not bush.but he voted with bush 90 percent of the time. so mccain you may not be bush. BUT WE ALL REMBER THE HUGS AND KISS WITH BUSH. YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAINT HIDE MCCAIN. GO HOME AND TAKE THAT IDIOT THAT DONT KNOW EAST COAST FROM WEST COAST . WITH YOU

Obama was sharp and prepared to discuss and debate:
Economy
Health Care
Roe v. Wade

McCain was prepared to argue:
Ayers
Acorn
Lewis

Hmmm....I am going with the smart guy.

We DO need government......We need a government that works FOR the people not AGAINST us, as it has been these last 8 years.

We need to allow a YOUNGER GENERATION to take this country in a NEW DIRECTION.

We are not leaving this country to the 'OVER 70' crowd. They are dying off by the thousands everyday. We are leaving this country to the YOUNG FOLKS. WE NEED TO ALLOW THEM TO BECOME THE HEROS, just as the 'Over 70' generation was allowed to do in the Great Depression and WWII.

WHY, OH WHY, can't people see that?

"angry, insulting, eye-rolling, gambler?"
Not the man I want sitting across from Putin and Ahmadi-nejad!

Obama/Biden – 08

Early voting is the way to go.

Registered Republican "voted" Obama/Biden 08

Senator Obama has clearly won all 3 debates. His wisdom and knowledge shows, and his cool demeanor is just what our country needs.

I think we have witnessed the true John McCain. His eye-rolling, grunting, and interrupting Obama was very unpresidential. Would he treat a leader from another country like that if he didn't agree with him?Frankly, his behavior at this debate really worried me. I do not think he has the temperament to lead our country. Suggesting the tone of his campaign would have been different if Obama would have agreed to more Town Hall meetings with him just shows he is a bully. We do not need a bully in the White House; after all, we had one for the last eight years. This just proves McCain is just like Bush regardless of what he says. Now Palin, that's another very scary story....

Without any doubt Obama won this debate hands down. McCain came across as an angry old man. Obama was cool, calm, answered all questions posed to him. Obama never went negative except when provoked, and acted very presidential. Given the choice between the two there is no question as to who I want to see running this country. Sorry John it wasn't you.

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT....

MCCAIN TO SCARE TO ASK FOLLOW – UP QUESTION BECAUSE OF HIS OWN PAST.....

SMACK DOWN OBAMA...........

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Obama continues to show leadership qualities, calmness and clarity of thinking that exemplifies why he is the best candidate for President. McCain had his shot, and he has fallen short, he is angry and erratic, he will not win in November.

Montanan for Obama

I dont think Obama needed to say if Palin is Qualified....he made it very clear that his VP pick is more than qualified. The American people with BRAINS know that Palin is no better qualified to be VP than Homer Simpson.

barack obama is going to win hes by far the better candidate

Being a life long Republican I have to say that John McCain seems a very angry man. His disdane for Senator Obama shows clearly, and his old school beliefs are just that...old school.
He is stuck in the past, and someone needs to tell him the past is just that...the past.
I have no confidence in him and will not support him in any way.
And another thing – anyone that tries to convince themselves that Sara Palin is qualified for VP or the Presidency is kidding themselves.

I'm biased toward Obama, I'll admit, but to me it was the clearest win of the three, not so much for content, but for impressions.

McCain was belligerent, angry, condescending, and just downright nasty. I don't want his shaky temperamental finger anywhere near a red button!!

And the fact that he got on Obama about not repudiating Lewis' comments when he refused to say anything about his ugly racist supporters yelling, "Kill Him" was incredibly telling. Apparently he thnks that kind of behavior is acceptable. If I knew nothing else about either candidate, that alone would be enough to make me vote for Obama. McCain is a dishonorable horrible man who has sold his soul to win the White House.

True Intellect over Prepared Catch Phrases
Obama wins hands down everytime
Obama/Biden 08, 12

It was quite obvious during the debate that John McCain has a temper. This is not a good trait for a president to have....Couple that with a dysfunctional, irrational running mate and the results could be catastophic!

That 31% who think Gramps McCain won the debate are probably the same 31% who think George W. Bush is doing a good job...

. . . . He did.

Obama / Biden 08.

I felt that Obama is sending the right message. I am fine with paying taxes, if I can make the income I need to progress toward my American dream.
Jobs, stocks, and controlling the health insurance pricing are the key issues affecting all of Americans. It is obvious John McCain cannot comprehend what
It has been like for families to try to make a budget when the gas prices soured. Fuel prices hinder my ability to pay for everything, so taxes are not
Near the monster, that energy has become. John McCain has not offered enough solutions for me to consider him. I know politics in the past has been
Traditionally smear campaigns, but it is time to grow up. This country cannot afford to waste time pointing fingers at each other.
Thank you
Karl the electrician

From my perspective, I feel Obama won, but McCain was his usual attack, attack, and McCain looked angry and kept interrupting Obama, which I thought was very rude....McCain looked very uncomfortable and in my opinion....NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL!!!

When asked is their running mates were qualified to take over, Obama saids Biden was qualified and listed several reasons why, foreign policy, Bideb's fight for equal pay for equal work, etc. McCain agree that Biden was also qualified even though they didn't always agree on things. When it came to Palin the only thing McCain had to say was she's a good mother and is qualified to take care of a specail needs child. Nothing else, no list of accomplishments or credencial to qualify her as even the VP let alone the Pres. So Palin makes a good mother but that's all.

Mccain just cant seem to understand that there is a smart eloquent black man sitting next to him. Well spoken and extremely intelligent. Sorry john thats the way it is. Fox news if obama does win you can forget about access to the white house.I would not let your anchors near the place.

McCain was too negative with attacks and never acknowledge what he plans for the country. I will agree that Obama won the Debate. Bring it home Obama.

Although McCain was more polished for this Debate but he was still angry like Obama owe him something. He should have not vetted himself for whipping Obama a??. This tells you that the punch line for this was waiting for a hit and when the hit came Obama pounced back and surprised the Hzzzzzl out of McCain.

Ayers had no place in politic because he wanted to forget the past but now look what McCain has done to this family. Shame shame shame shame on you McCain. Now I hope he will focus on the issues and tell Palin to leave anybody that is not the issue of this campaign at home or in the ground. They should not be in this campaign.

Obama-calm, cool, collected
McCain- erratic, angry, frustrated

i'll ride with Obama.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

PELOSI + REED + OBAMA= DEPRESSION

OBAMA SUPPORTERS WILL NEVER LEARN UNTIL ITS TO LATE.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO RAISE EVERYONE TAXES DON'T YOU GET IT!!!!!!!!

SOCIALIZE MEDICINE WOW PLEASE WAKE UP!!!!!!!

Obama lied about his involvement with ACORN. How can we trust him?

Of course, Obama won this debate. McCain had a better performance in this debate, compared to the last two debates, but he still did not accomplish what needed to be done and that was to make Obama appear inexperienced and weak as a leader. Obama demonstrated calmness. Obama's responses were rather specific and direct and he clearly articulated his vision for America. McCain just threw out "I'm a Republican" 101 lines and hoped that some of them actually resonated with viewers. McCain was all over the place and he looked uncomfortable. This debate only reinforced my view that Obama is the best person for the job of President!

I voted yesterday in Tennessee Early Voting and I proudly casted my vote for the Obama-Biden ticket!

Obama looked and sounded presidential. McCain came off as angry and agitated. Welcome to the White House, President Obama.

They think that because he did. It was pretty clear.

I don't agree at all. I think McCain did an outsatanding job . He will be elected. Sorry CNN. I know you guys want Obama to win. Roland not this time...

The Obama/CNN ticket is on a roll. CNN is full of knuckleheads.

McCain showed that recent remarks calling him an "Angry old man" were true. He can not believe the beating he is taking. It's like he blames Obama for his poorly run campaign, when all Obama is guilty of is being the better candidate.

Once again Mccain did not deliver to the American people.
Did anyone notice how much more time he was allowed
to talk? Would like for someone to give us the actual
minutes each was allowed to talk.

How is Jack and when is he coming back?

With the reptilian brand now in ashes and McCrypt has shed his integrity I would suggest the reptilian party start to rebuild the brand and maybe it will be in place by 2012.

McCain just looked like a jerk throughout the entire debate. He's 72 and acts like he's 12. Obama was definitely the mature one, which is why he won the debate.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08!!

Three of the things I didn't like 1) McCain's facial expressions, which were sneering, crazy-eyed, and just plain strange; 2) McCain did not answer several key questions, such as whether his running mate is qualified to be president (but she is a breash of freth air!) and 3) McCain's health plan is to give everyone $5,000, while Obama's health plan is a well-thought out, in-depth plan to cover everyone.

If John McCain debated Putin, and CNN did a pole on who won, I'm sure it would have Putin ahead by at least 40%. If I am a lazy bum, I'm sure spreading the wealth around sounds great! Why should I have to work hard when the government will just take someone elses hard earned money and give it to me! WOO I'm a Democrat, wheres my free ride?!

Where in the world is Ross Perot when ya need him?

It is so very interesting that people want change so badly that they are willing to change the American lifestyle to do it. To follow the most left voting liberal in the Senate in 2007 is beyond my comprehension. That a candidate can utter the words Spread the Wealth in AMERICA and lemmings will follow baffle me. We are not a socialistic society, but with the bailout and all of Obama's tax and spend ways we sure as heck will be. What a disaster we have fallen into. Change yes.. Socialism NO.

As usual McCain came across as an angry unprepared and sometimes confused person. His continual attacks attacks an failure to provide HIS answers to the problems is a major put off!

Three strikes – McCain is out !

I think Sen. Obama clearly won. He was a little flat on the tone of the message, but you still got the message. He scored big time with healthcare. I think he should've brought up bringing the Iraq war to a close which will free up alot of spending. But overall, he stuck tot he economy and that's what matters.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Game, set, match!

Here is the irony in all this. This was John McCains best performance and yet Obama without really even firing back wins the debate! Now thats the man I was sitting across the table from Putin or China...

Can you imagine Sarah Palin having to get any deep thought to anything were she President? OMG we might give Texas away to Mexico or something....(which I guess wouldnt be too bad considering all the morons in Texas that are still going to vote for that loser)
